Bohica, Bohica …

This should be the top story on every news site, on every newspaper, and on every TV and radio news program. America, fucked again by the Democrats. Bend. Over. Here. It. Comes. Again.

WASHINGTON — A House subcommittee on Wednesday rejected a Republican-led effort to open up more U.S. coastal waters to oil exploration. Rep. John Peterson, R-Pa., spearheaded the effort. His proposal would open up U.S. waters between 50 and 200 miles off shore for drilling. The first 50 miles off shore would be left alone. But the plan failed Wednesday on a 9-6, party-line vote in a House appropriations subcommittee, which was considering the proposal as part of an Interior Department spending package.

With record oil prices and gas prices projected to hover around the $4 mark for the rest of the summer, Republicans have ratcheted up their efforts to open up oil exploration along U.S. coastline. But the long-sought change has so far been unsuccessful. Most offshore oil production and exploration has been banned since a federal law passed in 1981.

“We are kidding ourselves if we think we can drill our way out of these problems,” House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey, D-Wis., said during the bill mark-up session.

Hey Obey, you Oasshole - getting to the oil and gas will take several years. Everyone knows that. That’s why we’ve been pushing for this kind of thing for 25 years. Remember when gas cost 89¢ a gallon? And we wanted to drill for oil offshore? And you said it wouldn’t help bring those prices down? You numb-nutted fucktard, it was today we were trying to protect against back then. What kind of rancid cum dribble are you anyway? Did you fail the test to get on Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? Is that why you took a career in government? Holy shit, you’re so fucking dumb we can’t trust you with a glass of milk unless you’ve got your safety helmet on.

For his part, Peterson said: “There is no valid reason for Congress to keep the country from energy resources it needs.” “I’m disappointed. I did not expect a partisan vote today. I felt we had a chance of winning this. A lot of Democrats have been talking favorably about my amendment. They know we have to do something. But today was an absolute show of Pelosi power, it was dealt from the top down,” Peterson said later, speaking with FOX News, adding he was open to other energy solutions, including wind and solar power.

Pelosi? Wasn’t she the crotch wrinkle who had a plan that was going to save us all? Why, yes she did!!

Pelosi Details Plan for Special Energy Committee

In a memo to House Democrats, Speaker Nancy Pelosi spelled out in more detail her plans to create a new bipartisan select committee to help raise the profile of energy independence and climate change issues in the new Congress. The California Democrat said her hope was to use the panel to “gather state-of-the-art scientific research, focus public attention on these urgent issues, and support the work of the authorizing committees” charged with writing actual legislation over the next six months.

Yes, this is the exact same FoxNews article I linked to earlier. Because it’s been updated. Because our HOPE for some intelligent CHANGE has been DASHED. So now America will continue to be the only country in the free world who has fuel resources but will not allow itself to go after them. Meanwhile, the fucking red Chinese are drilling OUR oil just 50 miles offshore of Florida. Ok, in theory it’s Cuba’s oil, but if we actually were a BIG BAD EMPIRE instead of a wet-my-pants nation of wilted flower holding Kumbayah singing spineless Obama-fainting fucking PUSSIES, it would be ours whenever we wanted it.

God damn. I am fit to bust. FOUR BUCKS A FUCKING GALLON and the Washington leftist shitwipes DON’T suffer an immediate public stoning for saying things like “drilling for oil is not the solution”. That’s right, because making an effort to get more of a “scarce” resource isn’t worth it. Because having more of it couldn’t possibly impact the “scarcity”. Who is this craven moron and how the fuck did he get elected? The price of gas has DOUBLED since Pelosi and her crew took over in 2006. And the worst thing they can see about this is that, in the words of their new LightWorker Messiah - “Discussing rising gasoline prices, Obama said: “I think that I would have preferred a gradual adjustment. “ - that the price increase hasn’t been gradual enough. Not that the price has increased to this level. Fuck no, that’s Ok. They’re happy with that. Totally. They just wish the price had gone up a little less quickly.

Dear America: You can go fuck, because the only important thing that truly matters is blocking any and all Republican legislation. We don’t care how good a plan it is, if it’s theirs, we are against it. Love, the Democratic Socialist Workers Party, aka the DNC. Blame Bush!!! PS - Allah U Akhbar!!!

Oh, and unless I missed it, or they’re all out on a latte break, there is not a single word of this on CNN or at their website. Could they be any more selectively biased if they tried?

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
